Chris Jericho rose to prominence in the WCW before blossoming into a bonafide superstar in the WWE. Will he ever fight for the company again?
Jericho held six world titles during his time with the company and even found success in the tag team department by earning gold in that division.
WithAEW catching heat recentlyand the WWE on its biggest boom in two decades, fans wonder if Jericho could cross over rival lines again.
Why did Chris Jericho leave the WWE?
Jericho said after leaving the company that his decision stemmed from feeling disrespected by Vince McMahon and other WWE matchmakers.
Jericho was engaged in a long-running feud with Kevin Owens for the United States Championship, but “Y2J” didn’t appreciate where their match was slotted at Wrestlemania 33.
He saysthat year’s Wrestlemania fiascoand other poor booking decisions were the primary reasons he and the WWE parted ways.
Jericho’s net worth sits at $18 million, according toCelebrity Net Worth. He is 53 years old and has worked in the professional wrestling industry for the better part of three decades.
No. Jericho has downplayed the idea of the WWE Hall of Fame, even going as far as saying it’s not a real honor that wrestlers covet.
AlthoughJericho is not a fanof the Hall of Fame, his career accomplishments reflect that of a Hall of Fame caliber talent.
Alas, Jericho is under contract with AEW, making a Hall of Fame induction unlikely in the immediate future.
According to Jericho, he has absolutely zero interest in returning to the WWE.
“I had a great 20 years there,”Jericho told Gabby LaSpisa. “But I love working [in the AEW]. And WWE is a completely different animal now than it was when I left. So, it’s not really something I’ve thought about.”
